iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Good Morning America’s Amy Robach is in Iceland for a feat that’s unprecedented in television history: to take viewers live into an ice sinkhole that’s thousands of feet deep.

Using the very latest in drone camera technology, Robach will watch Wednesday as a daring team of elite ice climbers ventures down into the vertical ice drop located in the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

Researchers and scientists study the formations to understand how the ice melts and sweeps into the oceans, raising the sea levels around the world and threatening coastlines.

Scientists say that low-lying areas are being directly affected by the melting ice.
